Meyer is the co-founder of Cahaba Brewery located in downtown Birmingham. His local brewery is a 'Proud Host' for the 2025 WPFG. That means they'll provide beers for Athlete Village and a space for teams to meet up before competing.

'Being a firefighter doing jujutsu, getting the opportunity to compete is huge,' Meyer said. Meyer will be representing Mountain Brook Fire station #2, and given he'll be going up against fighters from other countries, he is also representing the United States of America.
